Animal Teeth Implants   (+4, -3)  [vote for, against]
New teeth for you

Why not implant animal teeth into your mouth or have them modified to look like an animals? You could have a really cool set of fangs and scare irritating people away. Plus, they could be made out of that stuff that they make fake teeth with. It wouldn't be terribly expensive and you could do it with today's level of technology.

You could have many uses for them. If you are a vegetarian, you could get a whole lot of big fat teeth to chew with. Or if you are the opposite, maybe some wolf teeth? They would look really cool and if there is an IRS agent at your doorstep or maybe a salesman, just smile. They wouldn't be yellow like a real animals if you brush your teeth.

It could go with tails for all. [see link]

In response to Letsbuildafort, These teeth would not be acrylic. They would be better, permanent, and made of enamel, the same stuff your real teeth are made of. Your real teeth would be removed and your new teeth would be implanted in a new and painless procedure. Soooooooo . . . . . . NOT BAKED

See Mike Tyson link.

Made better name.

Ganstas and the like have gold, diamond and other crown added onto teeth. I bet if I google I will find a vampire crown for the goth set. Lets see...

Nope, no luck. So I guess its bread from me!

I've often wished for stainless steel teeth, myself. I imagine stainless steel wolf teeth would be frightening indeed.

//Plus, they could be made out of that stuff that they make fake teeth with//

They do. (see link)

// It wouldn't be terrbly expensive and you could do it with today's level of technology//

About $90-$400 (see link)

Also, when you say "They would be better, permanent, and made of enamel, the same stuff your real teeth are made of" following "could be made out of that stuff that they make fake teeth with." I get real confused. And wether or not its baked or not acording to you, I still believe this is a valid point in addition to your magical, painless tooth-replacement idea.

Wow, Letsbuildafort--that's a pretty long anno with no ALLCAPS words.

Yeah, I'm trying to cut down.

My aunt had a dentist make her a pair of professional denture-quality vampire fangs. Matched the enamel color and everything, and didn't even charge her for labor, only materials. My aunt is very strange.

//and scare irritating people away//
What about the non-irritating people ? Do you show your lack of irritation by not smiling? Conflicting signals could be a problem there.
<5th earth> When does she wear them? Just interested.

Dear blueturtle, when you smile, you could choose not to bare your teeth or show your nice set of fangs.
-- DesertFox, Apr 30 2004


I'm pretty sure you can screw anything onto the end of an implant, even a piece of corn.

Halfbaked in 'Bill the Galactic Hero...'.

Actually, fully baked in the third Artemis Fowl book. An assassin had his broken teeth replaced with a couple of designs, clear lucite with blue liquid sloshing about being most memorable. cj

Not the same thing cj finn "clear lucite with blue liquid sloshing about" is not even close to what I am saying.

Sounds like 'Dog' from Johnny Mnemonic.

"He might have been fifteen, but the fangs and the bright mosaic of scars compined with the gaping socket to present a mask of total bestiality. It had taken time and a certain kind of creavity to assemble that face, and his posture told-me he enjoyed living behind it."

Simple. Smile. Don't smile like a happy shark or the Doom marine when he finds the chainsaw.

That's scary even without fangs.
